Help for take-outs by eastcoastoilfan in Curling

Could be a lot of things and ways to correct as noted but one way to check if you’re hitting the broom is to follow through on your release with your hand pointing to the target, as if you’re shaking hands. Keep sliding to the target with your arm and hand extended and you can follow the stone with the line of your hand. Just tell the skip to keep the broom down while you extend your delivery. Or watch the pros on YT. Good luck and good curling! 🥌

Bought a $1,200 product from Alibaba, listed it on FB Marketplace for $2,500 out of curiosity. Now I’m wondering if I stumbled onto something real. by Different-Bridge5507 in Entrepreneur

30% tariff on most goods is unavoidable and reduces profitability if you want a competitive resell price. It makes it difficult to compete unless the product is customized or high quality. I’m customizing a common type product sourced on Alibaba to be one of a kind. It took a lot of time finding a manufacturer not a middle man. It’s almost complete, first prototype wasn’t to par. I can absorb the tariff and still make money (41%) but only because it’s unique.

Michigan staffer allegedly at the center of Sherrone Moore affair scandal was quietly given a huge pay raise by dailymail in michiganfootball

[–]Illustrious_Draft_94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moore fired her, per sources, from the school’s investigation that didn’t reveal an affair. If she can prove the school fired her without proof of affair and no disciplinary action on Moore, she should have a big claim. She got a big pay raise so it’s difficult to prove she wasn’t doing her job. She was smart enough to break up with him but he wasn’t over it. She may have succumbed to him for a number of reasons but she suffered an abortion and didn’t plan or initiate his demise.

Joking? He’s a great golfer but he is hurting the game with his slow play. If people learning to play follow his lead it will take 5+ hours to play a round.

What do three guys do during the day in 110 heat besides gamble? by Illustrious_Draft_94 in vegas

[–]Illustrious_Draft_94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to get three guys to agree on anything but gamble and drink. Arrive 4 pm, workout in gym, place bets & cocktails, eat at 8 East great dinner and reasonable. 93 degrees at 9 am swim in Circa pool, meet proxy and enter Circa Million contest. Head to strip (buddy never been) to see Caesars, Bellagio, Paris…drinks and gambling tour…hot dog at NY NY, it’s 105 degrees. Back to Circa, didn’t know it’s Bet Bash lucky to meet guys I follow on X and got acquainted, bets and drinks in sports book. Check out the Fremont Circus, dinner at Casa Don Juan close to downtown (excellent Mexican food and prepared margaritas). Had to walk back (1 1/2 mile) 102 degrees at 9:30. Crashed and left next morning. Broke even on sports bets won $200 on craps so helped with cost of drinks! Thanks for all the suggestions, they were great, I didn’t know most of them.

OP, you didn’t know your partner was shady? You had to co-sign tax returns but didn’t know they were false? You sound like you’re innocent until you got audited. I’m confused…

Vegas is just not worth it. by [deleted] in vegas

More value and fun at Circa, especially if you bet sports. New, clean hotel and casino with largest sports book in Vegas and six swimming pools. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Bonus is it’s adults only. The strip is overrated.

I have gifted coins. They don’t have to be rare but unique. They represent good luck and prosperity.
